I ran my first 5K this morning and lived to tell about it! I ran the Swift Creek 5K race here in Afton. I completed the race in 31:04 which was quite the accomplishment for me. I am so not a runner and it was no marathon but it ended up being a good experience for me. Now I just need to kick it into high gear to be ready for the Pinedale 10K in September.

Awesome Jess! I started running just a few years ago and haven't tempted the 10k yet. Running isn't my favorite thing to do, but it is exercise and I enjoy getting outside in the summers! Me and my sisters run a race together every summer and it is our getaway...no husbands or kids. It is a blast and great accomplishment to do together! Your time sounds pretty good to me!
My twin and I ran a 5k last June. It was my first and thought it was going to be last as I did not like it at all. The trail was way to hilly for me. But I think I will try another one in the future. My time was almost the same as yours. Good job!
Totally sweet, Jess! As one who used to absoloutly HATE running, you are my hero. I don't hate running anymore, but I'm still scared to run a 5K... I just need to drop the excuses and get in better shape!!
Way to go Jess! I want to get my butt in shape so I can hike the Grand Canyon next summer. I need to start runnin!!! I wish we lived by each other so I'd have an exercise buddy.
